IMO, this vaguely resembles Infiniti's Essence concept, except the Bimmer looks meaner and more aggressive. The upturned tail and the flares over the rear wheels remind me of a sprinter about to come out of the blocks. I like it.

I wonder if BMW's naming the car 'S.X.' is by coincidence, or if they are just really proud of the design. I mean, if you pronounce the two letters together, they sound like...

It's a nice enough looking rendering, but the side windows are ridiculous. It makes me think the designer has never actually driven a car. This whole window slit thing has gone too far, time for some fresh ideas, and real world perspective.

Instead of replacing it... that's a beauty there, so why replace the original when they could make it a Halo Car, like the R8 or the Carrera GT, they need something like that

Both renderings look like they're trying too hard. It is very possible to have a great looking car without trying to make it look extreme.

I do like the first link's rendering better. The second link looks more likely though. The first link has something rather Aston-esque about it. One-77 in particular. So yeah, it'd fit more in like an 8-series, but if it's not based on the 7-series, it won't "work." Something that doesn't fit into the normal naming scheme might be better.

And now that I actually read the article to make sure it isn't on the 7, I see they make the Aston connection too. Oh well...

Everything looks fine except that front end on the 2nd rendering. It looks like it has a stretched face, and the grills and front bumper somehow don't flow right with each other.
